A new look

After three months of being in the family, she is slowing adjusting to everything.  Just last night she wanted to go to sleep in mommy and daddy's bed.  This is HUGE.  Many times our girls just want to fall asleep with us, and we rarely say no. So, for her to request to fall asleep next to mommy was a big deal.

The other day we went shoe shopping, because the one pair she got from C just was not working anymore. She needed tennis shoes and a pair of dress shoes.  I am sure it was the first time she had ever been in a shoe store trying on NEW shoes.  We walked out with shoes that fit her wide feet and a large smile on her face.  She now has shoes of her own, that did not belong to someone before her.

And to add to all the first, we got her first hair cut.  Yes, we finally did it.  After three months of her slowly not wanting me to sit and fix her hair up every time we washed it, and her always pointing to her older sister and asking to have their hair, we did it.  She kept requesting, and I kept saying I was going to wait.  But she kept requesting. 

Here is her new style.

By the time this picture was taken, she had brushed her hair multiple times and put in multiple clippies.  She LOVES having the ability to do her own hair with out the assistance of mom.  She is slowing learning to do things for herself.  Some things she just need a little help but she is getting the hang of things and adjusting well into the family, as if she had been with us for years.
